Self-Compassion Instead of Self-Sacrifice
b'
At the Dad Edge Alliance, we\\u2019re disrupting the default settings of fatherhood so that we can go from living ordinary to extraordinary lives. One of the reasons we men become frustrated and burned out is because we feel it\\u2019s our job to shoulder the load for everyone. But if we practice self-compassion instead of self-sacrifice, not only will we feel happier, but we\\u2019ll also find we have more to give to everyone in our lives.
Today we interview another dad in the trenches. John Culford is a recent Dad Edge Alliance member who\\u2019s been married for fourteen years and is the father of two sons, aged twelve and thirteen.
John shares his challenges with communication, understanding, and connection with his wife and kids. He reveals what strategies he\\u2019s implementing to make his family grow closer during quarantine and beyond. He also tells us how getting into the habit of being kind to himself, claiming space, and opening up about his struggles with his family his secret to staying grounded and moving forward.
